To find out the most effective method of treatments for the induction of sprouting of dormant seed potato pieces for the fall crop production of Irish cobbler, this experiment was carried out with sprout inducing bed and field performance trial. In GA treatments, about 10 days were required to sprout and resulted uniform and thin 3-4 sprouts per tuber piece, but sprouts were slender and rooting was not observed. In Ethrel treatments, 20-25 days were required, and sprouts were inferior than that of GA treatment in uniformity of sprouting, and percentage of rotten pieces and of healthy sprouted tuber pieces, but number of sprouts per tuber pieces was low, being 1-2, and sprouts were short, thick, and healthy, and showed good rooting. In GA and Ethrel mixture treatments, 1-2 more days were required to sprout than GA treatments, but sprouts were relatively healthy, and other sprouting pattern were like that of GA treatments. In Ethylene chlorohydrin and 6-Benzyl-adenine treatments, sprouting was like that of Ethrel treatments, but much more days were required than Ethrel treatments and tendency of severe rotting was observed. Optimum treating methods of promising chemicals found to be 1-2 and 2-5 ppm GA solution, 500 and 1000-2000 ppm Ethrel solution, and 1-2＋250-500 and 5＋250-500 ppm GA and Ethrel mixture solution for 60 min. treatment of tuber piece and whole-tuber, respectively. Induction of sprouting in dry and hot time resulted severer rotting of tuber pieces during the induction of sprouting and with the advancement of dormancy, being delayed in date of treatment, tendency of promotion of sprouting and rooting was observed. When sprouted tuber piece was transplanted at the same date, yields were in order of Ethrel, GA and Ethrel mixture, and GA treatment, indicating the correlation between yield and healthiness of sprout and rooting status of sprouted tuber piece. In all treatments, earlier transplanting resulted higher yields.

To investigate effects of the shared living on nutrient intakes,250 college male students who were living alone (104 men) or sharing accommodation with friends (134 men) were participated. Their average age was 22.6 years, their average height was 171.8 cm, their average weight was 65.6 kg and their average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22.2. The caloric intakes of the men living alone or sharing accommodation were 55.9% and 72.5% of the Korean Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), respectively. The decreased caloric level of the group living alone seemed to be due to their decreased protein and fat consumption as compared to that of the group sharing accommodation. The group living alone consumed increased amounts of fiber for breakfast and half the carbohydrates, but more fat (p < 0.05) in snacks than the group sharing accommodation. The daily carbohydrate : protein : fat (C : P : F) ratio averaged 58.6 14.1 27.3, which is a lower carbohydrate and a higher fat ratio than the Korean recommended ratio. However, the group living alone was closer to the Korean recommended ratio than the group sharing accommodation. The food intake habits were evaluated as being poorer in the group living alone as compared to the group sharing accommodation, less frequent consumption of fried / pan-fried dishes, and fruits / juices, but more frequent consumption of instant / processed foods. In comparing the eating patterns of the two groups, the group living alone showed better eating habits, such as more“breakfast eating”and less“snacking in the morning, afternoon or late at night”whereas the group sharing accommodation showed better eating habits such as less“picky eaters”and less “eating out”. In the group living alone, their lower caloric intake was assumably due to their fewer side dishes, however they showed higher eating frequencies of instant i processed foods. Since the lifestyle of living alone seems to grow gradually among young men, we strongly recommend dietary education for them.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of dietary fish oil inclusion on the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contents and organoleptic characteristics of breast meat in mule ducks. Three hundred mule ducks at four weeks of age were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments with five replicate pens in each. One replicate pen had ten males and females each with a total of 100 ducks in each treatment. The diet in the three treatments contained 0, 1.5, and 3.0% fish oil, respectively. Body weights at 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks of age, and feed efficiency at 4 to 6, 6 to 8, and 8 to 10 weeks of age were recorded. At 10 weeks of age, one male and one female from each replicate were sacrificed for oxidative stability of breast meat and the sacrificed males were employed for the analysis of fatty acids in breast meat and skin. Sensory evaluation of breast meat was also performed. A level of 3.0% fish oil in the diet significantly deteriorated feed efficiency and body weight gain. Dietary fish oil inclusion had a trend of increasing abdominal fat deposition and decreasing the flavor of breast meat. The EPA and DHA contents in the breast meat were higher than those in the breast skin irrespective of oil sources. The EPA and DHA contents in breast meat and breast skin was significantly increased in the 3.0% fish oil group. Although EPA and DHA were not efficiently deposited in the duck meat through dietary fish oil inclusion, this method can still provide a partial supplementation of EPA and DHA.

최근 들어 wearable computing에 대한 수요가 증가하면서 flexible device에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, flexible device를 구현하기 위해서는 기판의 damage를 줄이기 위한 저온공정, device life-time 향상을 위한 passivation, 와이어 본딩 등 다양한 문제들이 해결 되어야 한다. 이러한 문제들 중, polymer 기판과 금속간의 접착력을 향상시키기 위해서 많은 연구자들은 기판의 표면에 adhesive layer를 도포하거나 금속잉크의 solvent를 변화시키는 등의 연구를 진행해왔다. 종래의 연구는 기존 device를 대체 할 수 있을 정도의 생산성과 polymer 기판에 대한 열 적인 손상 이 문제가 되었다. 종래의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 저온공정, in-line system이 가능한 준 준 대기압 플라즈마를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 금속잉크를 Ink-jet으로 jetting하여 와이어 본딩 하는 과정에서 전도성 ink의 선폭을 유지시키고 접착력을 향상하기 위하여 준 대기압 플라즈마 공정을 이용하여 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. Polymer 기판 표면에 roughness를 만들기 위해 대략 수백 nm 크기를 갖는 graphene flake를 spray coating하여 마스크로 사용하고 준 대기압 플라즈마를 이용하여 표면을 식각 함으로써 roughness를 형성시켰다. 준 대기압 플라즈마를 발생시키기 위해 double discharge system에서 6 slm/1.5 slm (He/O2) gas composition을 하부 전극에 흘려보내고 60 kHz, 5 kV 파워를 인가하였다. 동시에 상부 전극에는 30 kHz, 5 kV 파워를 인가하여 110초 동안 표면 식각 공정을 진행하였다. Graphene flake mask가 coating되어 있는 유연기판을 산소 플라즈마 처리 한 후 물에 3초 동안 세척하여 표면에 남아있는 graphene flake를 제거하고 6 slm/0.3 slm (He/SF6)의 유량으로 주파수와 파워 모두 동일 조건으로 110초 동안 표면 처리를 하였다. Figure 1은 표면 개질 과정과 graphene flake를 mask로 사용하여 얻은 roughness 결과를 SEM을 이용하여 관찰한 결과이다. 이와 같이 실험한 결과 ink와 기판간의 접촉면적을 늘려주고 접촉 각을 조절하여 Wenzel model 을 형성 할 수 있는 표면 roughness를 생성하였고 표면의 화학적 결합을 C-F group으로 치환하여 표면의 물과 접촉각 이 $47^{\circ}$에서 $130^{\circ}$로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to derive an Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph for the accurate and reliable unitgraph which can be used to the estimation and control of flood for the development of agricultural water resources and rational design of hydraulic structures. Eight small watersheds were selected as studying basins from Han, Geum, Nakdong, Yeongsan and Inchon River systems which may be considered as a main river systems in Korea. The area of small watersheds are within the range of 85 to 470$\textrm{km}^2$. It is to derive an accurate Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph under the condition of having a short duration of heavy rain and uniform rainfall intensity with the basic and reliable data of rainfall records, pluviographs, records of river stages and of the main river systems mentioned above. Investigation was carried out for the relations between measurable unitgraph and watershed characteristics such as watershed area, A, river length L, and centroid distance of the watershed area, Lca. Especially, this study laid emphasis on the derivation and application of Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH) by applying Nash's conceptual model and by using an electronic computer. I U H by Nash's conceptual model and I U H by flood routing which can be applied to the ungaged small watersheds were derived and compared with each other to the observed unitgraph. 1 U H for each small watersheds can be solved by using an electronic computer. The results summarized for these studies are as follows; 1. Distribution of uniform rainfall intensity appears in the analysis for the temporal rainfall pattern of selected heavy rainfall event. 2. Mean value of recession constants, Kl, is 0.931 in all watersheds observed. 3. Time to peak discharge, Tp, occurs at the position of 0.02 Tb, base length of hlrdrograph with an indication of lower value than that in larger watersheds. 4. Peak discharge, Qp, in relation to the watershed area, A, and effective rainfall, R, is found to be {{{{ { Q}_{ p} = { 0.895} over { { A}^{0.145 } } }}}} AR having high significance of correlation coefficient, 0.927, between peak discharge, Qp, and effective rainfall, R. Design chart for the peak discharge (refer to Fig. 15) with watershed area and effective rainfall was established by the author. 5. The mean slopes of main streams within the range of 1.46 meters per kilometer to 13.6 meter per kilometer. These indicate higher slopes in the small watersheds than those in larger watersheds. Lengths of main streams are within the range of 9.4 kilometer to 41.75 kilometer, which can be regarded as a short distance. It is remarkable thing that the time of flood concentration was more rapid in the small watersheds than that in the other larger watersheds. 6. Length of main stream, L, in relation to the watershed area, A, is found to be L=2.044A0.48 having a high significance of correlation coefficient, 0.968. 7. Watershed lag, Lg, in hrs in relation to the watershed area, A, and length of main stream, L, was derived as Lg=3.228 A0.904 L-1.293 with a high significance. On the other hand, It was found that watershed lag, Lg, could also be expressed as {{{{Lg=0.247 { ( { LLca} over { SQRT { S} } )}^{ 0.604} }}}} in connection with the product of main stream length and the centroid length of the basin of the watershed area, LLca which could be expressed as a measure of the shape and the size of the watershed with the slopes except watershed area, A. But the latter showed a lower correlation than that of the former in the significance test. Therefore, it can be concluded that watershed lag, Lg, is more closely related with the such watersheds characteristics as watershed area and length of main stream in the small watersheds. Empirical formula for the peak discharge per unit area, qp, ㎥/sec/$\textrm{km}^2$, was derived as qp=10-0.389-0.0424Lg with a high significance, r=0.91. This indicates that the peak discharge per unit area of the unitgraph is in inverse proportion to the watershed lag time. 8. The base length of the unitgraph, Tb, in connection with the watershed lag, Lg, was extra.essed as {{{{ { T}_{ b} =1.14+0.564( { Lg} over {24 } )}}}} which has defined with a high significance. 9. For the derivation of IUH by applying linear conceptual model, the storage constant, K, with the length of main stream, L, and slopes, S, was adopted as {{{{K=0.1197( {L } over { SQRT {S } } )}}}} with a highly significant correlation coefficient, 0.90. Gamma function argument, N, derived with such watershed characteristics as watershed area, A, river length, L, centroid distance of the basin of the watershed area, Lca, and slopes, S, was found to be N=49.2 A1.481L-2.202 Lca-1.297 S-0.112 with a high significance having the F value, 4.83, through analysis of variance. 10. According to the linear conceptual model, Formular established in relation to the time distribution, Peak discharge and time to peak discharge for instantaneous Unit Hydrograph when unit effective rainfall of unitgraph and dimension of watershed area are applied as 10mm, and $\textrm{km}^2$ respectively are as follows; Time distribution of IUH {{{{u(0, t)= { 2.78A} over {K GAMMA (N) } { e}^{-t/k } { (t.K)}^{N-1 } }}}} (㎥/sec) Peak discharge of IUH {{{{ {u(0, t) }_{max } = { 2.78A} over {K GAMMA (N) } { e}^{-(N-1) } { (N-1)}^{N-1 } }}}} (㎥/sec) Time to peak discharge of IUH tp=(N-1)K (hrs) 11. Through mathematical analysis in the recession curve of Hydrograph, It was confirmed that empirical formula of Gamma function argument, N, had connection with recession constant, Kl, peak discharge, QP, and time to peak discharge, tp, as {{{{{ K'} over { { t}_{ p} } = { 1} over {N-1 } - { ln { t} over { { t}_{p } } } over {ln { Q} over { { Q}_{p } } } }}}} where {{{{K'= { 1} over { { lnK}_{1 } } }}}} 12. Linking the two, empirical formulars for storage constant, K, and Gamma function argument, N, into closer relations with each other, derivation of unit hydrograph for the ungaged small watersheds can be established by having formulars for the time distribution and peak discharge of IUH as follows. Time distribution of IUH u(0, t)=23.2 A L-1S1/2 F(N, K, t) (㎥/sec) where {{{{F(N, K, t)= { { e}^{-t/k } { (t/K)}^{N-1 } } over { GAMMA (N) } }}}} Peak discharge of IUH) u(0, t)max=23.2 A L-1S1/2 F(N) (㎥/sec) where {{{{F(N)= { { e}^{-(N-1) } { (N-1)}^{N-1 } } over { GAMMA (N) } }}}} 13. The base length of the Time-Area Diagram for the IUH was given by {{{{C=0.778 { ( { LLca} over { SQRT { S} } )}^{0.423 } }}}} with correlation coefficient, 0.85, which has an indication of the relations to the length of main stream, L, centroid distance of the basin of the watershed area, Lca, and slopes, S. 14. Relative errors in the peak discharge of the IUH by using linear conceptual model and IUH by routing showed to be 2.5 and 16.9 percent respectively to the peak of observed unitgraph. Therefore, it confirmed that the accuracy of IUH using linear conceptual model was approaching more closely to the observed unitgraph than that of the flood routing in the small watersheds.

Background: Cervical cancer (CeCa) is the second most common cancer in women in developing countries, and human papilloma virus (HPV) is the primary etiological factor. Aberrant expression of HOX transcription factors has been observed in several types of cancer. To date, however, no reports exist on the expression of HOXB2 and HOXB13 proteins during neoplastic progression in CeCa and its correlation with HPV infection. Materials and Methods: Expression of HOXB2 and HOXB13 proteins was assessed in tissue microarrays from normal cervical epithelium, cervical intraepithelial neoplasias grade 1-3, and CeCa. HPV was detected by PCR and sequencing. Expression of HOX-positive cells was determined in each diagnostic group. Results: Percentage of HOXB2- and HOXB13-positive cells gradually increased from means of 10.9% and 16.7%, respectively, in samples from healthy women, to 75.2% and 88.6% in those from CeCa patients. Frequency of HPV infection also increased from 13% in healthy tissue samples to 92.3% in CeCa. Both HOXB2 and HOXB13 proteins were preferentially expressed in HPV+ samples. Conclusions: The present study represents the first report on the expression of both HOXB2 and HOXB13 proteins through cervix tumorigenesis, providing evidence that increased expression of such proteins is a common event during progression to CeCa.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the drinking water quality based on physicochemical properties and chemical compositions of the supply water in the Daedeok Campus, and to verify the analytical reliabilities of ICP-MS and IC equipped in the Central Research Facilities at Chungnam National University , Korea. The supply water belongs to $Ca^{2+}-({HCO_3}^-+{SO_4}^{2-})$type, whereas the original water from the Daecheong lake belongs to $(Ca^{2+}-(Mg^{2+})-{HCO_3}^-$ type. Generally, temperature (14.1$^{\circ}C$), pH (6.95), Eh (0 mV), electrical conductivity (117${\mu}$S/cm) and TDS (86.975mg/l) of supply water were higher than those of original lake water . Results using WATEQ4F revealed that potentially toxic ions of the supply water might exist mainly as free metals ($M^{2+}$) and a small amount as ${CO_3}^{2-}$ and $OH^-$ complexes. Also, the water composition belongs to the kaolinite field. Calculated average enrichment indies of the supply water normalized to lake water for anions, mamor cations, toxic cations and total ions are 1.05 , 1.56, 13.05 and 1.17 , respectively. Those values of the ground water in the Daedeok Campus showed 1.71, 4.78, 5.71 and 2.49 , respectively. However , contents of all constituents of these water are within the drinking water standard. All samples were filtered before the chemical analysis. Pale yellow or yellowish brown colored materials of colloidal particles coated the filter paper to thickness of 0.02 to 0.2mm. these are mainly Fe-Cy-Zn compounds with traces of Ni and Pb, the net weights of which compounds range from 0.01to 3.20mg/l. Most elements did not show any conceivable filtering effect of Cu, Fe and Zn. Especially, mean concentration of total Fe decreased considerably from 168.52${\mu}g$/lto 42.58${\mu}g$/l by filtering .

The human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori (Hp) has been considered a microaerophile. However, we recently reported that, when supplied with 10% $CO_2$, Hp growth is stimulated by an atmospheric level of $O_2$, suggesting that Hp is a capnophilic aerobe. In this study, we investigated the effects of aerobic $O_2$ tension on Hp cells by comparing gene expression profiles of cultures grown under microaerobic and aerobic conditions in the presence of 10% $CO_2$. The results showed that overall differences in gene expression in Hp cells grown under the two $O_2$ conditions were predominantly growth-phase-dependent. At 6 h, numerous genes were down-regulated under the aerobic condition, accounting for our previous observation that Hp growth was retarded under this condition. At 36 h, however, diverse groups of genes involved in energy metabolism, cellular processes, transport, and cell envelope synthesis were highly up- or down-regulated under the aerobic condition, indicating a progression of the cultures from the log phase to the stationary phase. The expression of several oxidative stress-associated genes including tagD, katA, and rocF was induced in response to aerobic $O_2$ level, whereas trxA, trxB, and ahpC remained unchanged. Altogether, these data demonstrate that aerobic $O_2$ tension is not detrimental to Hp cells but stimulates Hp growth, supporting our previous finding that Hp may be an aerobic bacterium that requires a high $CO_2$ level for its growth.

This study was conducted to select the appropriate types of drop cone for measuring soil hardness and to determine the cone index for the actual field on which rice will be transplanted. One type of drop cone was selected from the results of indoor tests and the selected drop cone was tested at the 56fields of the five different districts in Korea. The results of this study were summarized as follows; 1. Cone type D shows a significant penetrating depth variation comparing the other types of cone on the indoor tests. 2. Six types of cone were tested on the similar state of the actual puddling field. The penetrating depth variation was not significant among the cones but cone type F seemed to be suitable to evaluate the state of puddling because cone type F showed the least repeat variations during the tests. 3. The actual field test from 56 fields showed that the penetrating depth was approximately 11.0-14.4cm on the puddling day and it was 9.2-13.7cm on the transplanting day of which one to three days after puddling. 4. The above results show that the selected drop cone could be used to formulate the state of puddling.
